Nice is different than Good.

Nice is surface. Good is a description of the deepest part of a person.

He's an unethical internet douche that plays nice for parent approval while waging covert psychological warfare on children to separate them and their parents from their hard earned money.

Shit chocolate. Unpaid prizes. Internal self dealing. Deceptive practices.

Dungeon. 1000 years dungeon.

Something told me this dude was a douchebag from day one. Guess my hunch was right..

OMFG! I didn't wanna say it, but...

It’s seemed fairly obvious to me the whole time I’ve been aware of him that something was not right with this boy. Same with say, Sean Combs - he’s always seemed creepy and kind of weird to me, and I was always wondering who would give themselves names like “Puffy” or “Diddy”.

Diddle boy!

“He was such a nice, quiet, unassuming guy…”

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but whose fault is that so the end of the day.

Just tell your kids no.

It took me a while to figure out that when I said no to something because of a reason instead of only because I was broke, I didn’t even get the guilty feeling.

Plus, now my kids know why we don’t buy Nestlé products, and have zero problems sharing said reasons

Just out of curiosity, what torture machine do you imagine using on him?

[–] SkyezOpen 9 points 1 month ago

The unimaginable torture of nobody paying attention to him for the rest of his life.

[–] NegativeInf 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Forcing him to watch children's YouTube channels clockwork orange style.

Finger Family and Pregnant Elsa videos.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Finger and pregnant do not belong in the same sentence.

Solitary confinement with the lights on 24/7.

What is "internal self dealing"?

[–] NegativeInf 1 points 1 month ago

His choosing of "contestants" from his employee roster. On multiple occasions. Probably not the best term for it. But that's what my brain gave me in the moment.

I don’t trust him. I see the demigod he’s become for my children and am really worried about that. I hate that he produces things like chocolate that my kids suddenly need. It feels predatory. It’s like how Joe Rogan sells supplements to adults. My children always get defensive when I point out his possible flaws. I only hope they grow out of it and learn to not follow anyone too seriously.

Did you see the interview with one of his ex employees? Just show then that

Who the fuck says he's the internet's nicest man?

I've never liked him. If your channel is all videos about how nice and generous you are, that's a red flag to me. I saw another comment somewhere call it philanthropy porn, a pretty apt description.

[–] Duamerthrax 5 points 1 month ago

That's a good description of it. I call Dhar Mann social justice porn. Both have turned out to be not as nice as they present themselves.

[–] MataVatnik 24 points 1 month ago

Saw one of the interviews with one of his ex employees. This man's is a piece of shit sociopath

[–] brlemworld 14 points 1 month ago

He runs thousands of illegal lotteries. He belongs in jail for at least a decade.

[–] Iceblade02 6 points 1 month ago

I remember watching on mr. Beast video long ago, and he just rubbed me the wrong way

[–] thesporkeffect 3 points 1 month ago

I was told last month that he's "definitely not cooked"
